I'd say that et35/38 is not going to fit at those widths for definite without some kind of rubbing, et45 would be better but still going to be close I think?
Centre bore is wrong so will need spigots, oem is 57.1mm iirc

9J ET41 sits about flush with the arches. It's a common Bentley fitment for comparison purposes.

Here's an offset calculator so you can get an idea of what will and won't work:

They will be fine, same width and offset as TD pro race 1.2s which sit perfect in a mk5 arch imo  :happy2:
